<p>We never know who we will impact, or how people will be impacted by our behavior. This is a little change of pace, and I feel pretty vulnerable putting this out there. There is so much power in receiving forgiveness! I was bully when I was younger, and although I apologized to the boy I was ruthless to when I saw him many years ago at my high school reunion, when I launched this podcast, he was following me on social media, and I felt like I didn't deserve to have him share my episodes and support me because I had been so terrible to him. I reached out to him via messenger and I read his response to me in this episode. </p>

Bonus Episode 8 The Power of Compassion and Forgiveness

In this podcast, we explore how sensitivity weaves itself into our lives.  We talk about the richness that it adds, and the strengths we have BECAUSE of our sensitivity and some of the challenges it poses as well. If you are a Creative, a deep thinker, a deep feeler, neurodivergent, autistic, a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), an introvert, or identify as INFJ or ENFJ, you may enjoy the in-depth conversations where we talk openly and honestly about how we experience life. This is a podcast where you can learn, relate, laugh and maybe even live a bolder, brighter life.


Have you been told you're "too" (fill in the blank)? You're too sensitive; you think/worry too much; you take things too personally; you're too emotional, too finicky, too fragile, too intense, too uptight, too slow. Have you been told you can't take a joke; you can't go with the flow? You can't let go of things? Making decisions can be very difficult. You might have an acute sense of smell, and strong odors, crowded noisy environments and bright lights are just too much!

You notice things that no one else does. You have a strong sense of justice and you may be a peace-keeper. Conflict feels uncomfortable. You're the one that everyone tells their problems to because you're a good listener who cares deeply.

You're in the right place!

You may have been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, ADHD or something else.  Sometimes Highly Sensitive People are misdiagnosed. Our brains are wired differently.  We are born with the trait of High Sensitivity.  There's nothing wrong with you! You will learn that your perceived weaknesses are really are your superpowers! Dr. Elaine Aron coined the term Highly Sensitive Person (also known as Sensory Processing Sensitivity).
